Jow Forumsentoomen, I desperately need your help

Jow Forumsentoomen, I desperately need your help.

A couple of weeks ago I was stupid enough to torrent a movie through my employers wifi for a couple of hours, and it looks like the admins found out that somebody has been up to no good.

Now, I was unretarded enough to rename my computer beforehand (instead of "David's laptop it's now some random character) but I now realize the logged in windows 10 user account at that time was in fact my first name and only one Dave works here.

There's no way that there's deep packet inspection involved (since it's illegal here for an employer to do that). Assuming that, is there any way they can retrieve the windows 10 username afterwards that was logged in to the laptop at fault (my personal laptop that i don't use for work), for instance via router logs?

I didn't have to give any credentials to login to the WiFi, just the password that everyone else uses.

I'm definitely losing sleep over this Jow Forums.

Better start updating that resume, user.

Good, as a firewall admin I have gotten people fired for doing that shit on my network. Enjoy mcdonalds, kid.

Sleep probably isn't the only thing you'll be losing

this
your going to get fired so you might as well start packing

WTF why would your boss care if you torrent movies or not?
What kind of workplace would fire someone over it, I assume you were working instead of looking at the torrent the whole time while it downloads.

Windows 10 gives you a random "DESKTOP-****" PC name, unless you rename it.

I doubt they're keeping logs but if they are, you should worry about the keeping a log of our wifi nic MAC address.

tl;dr spoof your wifi mac and change your pc name.

>not working in a place where "just torrent it" is nearly an official policy for non-software stuff

> as a firewall admin

Nice LARPing, faggot.

Faggots

>Mac address

Even if they found out the mac address, so what? According to the op, he was using his private laptop not his business laptop. So the address isn't connected to his identity.

The only thing they can do, is to block the mac address (device) from connecting in the future.

Op, you're safe but don't do it again ya dingus.

>Illegal

Op here.
Torrenting movies isn't illegal here so there's no problem with that. But my boss is definitely going to fire me if they found out I was using the company WiFi for things like that.

So the only thing i want to know is if they can find out it was me.

Hope this guy is right.

Yeah and he was using Windows so what are they even going to do with a mac address

user...

>not using a vpn
Better update your resume as
said

relax dude, admins are most retarded of all IT personnel, they won't find anything

Most they can find out if the mac address. Your username could be found out eventually if the device was connected long enough, but i doubt most network admins are competent/caring enough/don't have better things to do.

>Vpns
Are an absolute meme in situations like this - assuming you weren't stupid enough to login to sites with personal accounts and the only thing you did was downloading torrents.

You're fine.

not sure if they can even see the usernames connected, but even if they can, they won't see any connection to you. be careful next time

just explain it as it auto started with your computer when you where doing work and you didn't notice. if they ask it was an accident. explain you know it could be considered malicious but it was purely accidental and you know it was a clear violation,and meant no ill will; it will not happen again. ..right?

I HAD A VIRUS

They can tell what access point you connected from, so they pretty much know where you sit. Wouldn't be hard to look around and say hey this tool brings in his personal laptop frequently. They would easily be able to tell it was you.

They don't block torrenting at the firewall, so its their own fault. They don't want it happening, put network rules in place to stop it. We frequently saw people torrenting, downloading porn, but there is no policy in place to say this can't be done. It was always managers discretion... until we got a DMCA letter from our ISP. Shit got blocked fast after that.

Nobody likely even looks at firewall logs, there is such an insane amount of data that goes through the firewall. For someone to sit there and watch it all day every day would be asinine. They only look if they need to, or they have some kind of alarm setup.

>But my boss is definitely going to fire me if they found out I was using the company WiFi for things like that.
It happens, you bring your personal laptop in for some project or something and forget its running. Not a big deal honestly, its not malicious in any way. If you are brought into HR or whatever, just admit it was an accident and not something intentional.

if you used mega none of this would have happened

can't you deny torrent?

>working at all

IS your team retarded to the point that they don't know how to write simple scripts and regex filters to go over the logs at the end of the day?

I'm an admin that handles network / systems / security. I don't give two shits about what users do as long as it (a) isn't illegal, (b) isn't malware, (c) won't create more issues for me to deal with.

Everything is logged but the only time that data is queried is when HR / management requests information.

Most of the traffic related to compromised systems (botnet C&C traffic, unexpected traffic to foreign countries, network attacks, etc.) has automated alerting so I don't need to go sifting through logs each day to identify items of interest. Daily and weekly reports occasionally help identify a trend.

I guess the situation might be different for larger shops with dedicated IS teams.

What the hell kind of business do you work at where I/T is tasked with monitor employee IP communications? Why would they even care if someone downloaded something?

>firewall admin
I too can name things that dont actually exist.

you're a lil slow arent you

Of course not, its super fucking easy to filter the data. We're not going to waste our time looking unless we have a need. Like I give a fuck how many people typed pornhub into their browser every day.

Not op, but what can you guys actually see when you decide to take a closer look? Mac addresses, device names, visited websites?
